Troll slaying the E-Z way

[traceur_]

Seriously... who trolls these forums? You're only supposed to troll forums full of stupid people.

Was that a joke? Not to say that The Escapist is filled with retards, but.. You probably get my point..

Too many people think that the escapist is full of smart people, when in reality its one of the dumbest places I've ever seen, stop being delusional and sink to the trolls level! Then you might have some fun.

OT; You know what the easiest way of dealing with the trolls is? Ignoring them! Unless they post images such as goatse, in that case you start fapping. That'll make them so confused that they leave.

This is the best idea... ever... of all time.

All in all, I like trolls, they're funny, except for the really, really good ones like Arcane_Azmadi who pops in here from time to time, that guy got me good. The really, really good ones make you want to savagely beat a stranger because you can't get to them.

Couldn't I just use my ninja skillz and slay the troll with my katana?

Ninjas don't use katanas, sillyhead, they use ninja-tos. Samurai used katanas.

I killed one and stole it, cause I'm that awesome!

juts playing devil's advocate for a minute, but maybe people troll because it's really, really funny? I mean, by even pretending to take trolls this seriously, you've already handed them their victory.

Really I. and some other on Kongregate fight trolls all the time...we have yet to lose, a.k.a we shut them up for good.

The trolls are just jealous of the awesomeness that is the Escapist.

But, we have had trolls here before. Really persistent and infuriating trolls.

Why does it have to be guided missiles? Why not something more heavy? i know nothing of military arms lol

Heavier....hmmm.

Laser-guided Piano?

If you can remember GEMS, then you're a veteran. If you fought him, well...

....god, those were the days.

Nah, I can't remember GEMS since he/she/it/whatever was probably around before I joined in 2009. I do however, remember troll_man and the following 3 versions. V4 popped up after I went to bed that night.

I remember troll_man. That was a lot of reporting that I had to do until the mods banned him.

Oh, that one. Pretty poor creature, if you don't mind me saying. Now, I can recall that we had a number of interesting trolls - Eggo comes to mind - who took a while to uncover and purge with cleansing fire.

I'm sure I'll probably see worse in the months/years to come. As of now, troll_man is the worst I've seen.

No kidding. So much clicking. O_O

Didn't he get up to 81 posts or so before he was finally banned the first time?

I'd say that not commenting in a troll thread can be a mistake because (at least in other forums I've been in) troll threads have sparked interesting and intelligent debate. The potential is certainly there, though recognizing what you're dealing with helps. I don't think I've seen much trolling here though.

The key is to ignore the trolls outright and when they get no reaction, they'll waddle on to some other website with easier and more reactionary prey.

I avoided that mini-troll invasion completely... When I saw the first one I left my computer and didnt come back for 2 days... just to be sure.

I agre-

HEY! I SAW THAT COMMUNISM PART

yeah, what's up with the blow on communists

I third this sentiment, unfair to us contributing commies on the Escapist.

They taste good on toast is all I can say.
Now, on to business. Yes this is useful, however people do troll when having a bad day and not thinking about it, as I can attest to (also why I never go here to comment in a bad mood. I like it to much to pollute the area).

I played the comps a few times and it seemed like a game that could be a decent time-waster.

But then I realize there's only ever the same 6 people on and they're all way more experienced than me.

If no one is going to play, I can't either.

If the troll is starved for attention then it will move to another possible source before it starves to death. Or it will just have it's Mom make some more pizza rolls for it before it starts doing it's American History homework.....or whatever it is 12 year olds do.

I'm 12 and I don't troll, well, at least not intentionally.
